HELP ADRIAN'S MOTHER
Donation protected
Adrian’s mom was hospitalized last week from an acute heart attack that was misdiagnosed as a bronchial spasm. She was sent home that day. The next morning, after the symptoms persisted, she was taken to a different clinic and, after further tests, her heart attack was correctly diagnosed. The initial hope was for a simple stent surgery, but the damage in the arteries is too severe, and the team of doctors have suggested a heart bypass.
In pre-surgical exams doctors discovered more blockages than expected, as well as some obstructions in her carotid arteries. The plan is now for a triple bypass procedure on Monday morning.
Our family is suffering a very difficult journey because the insurance company covering Adrian's mother dropped her coverage on Saturday Sept 23 when — without any consent from doctors or family — they sent an ambulance to attempt to transport her to another clinic of lesser quality. In addition to being unauthorized, the ambulance they sent wasn't properly equipped to handle an ICU patient. On top of taking care of the fragile situation of his mother, Adrian (as her legal custodian) has had to hire a lawyer and open a public complaint against the health insurance company.
Adrian and his father have already paid out-of-pocket approximately $25,000 for his mom’s care in the ICU. To recoup those costs and be able to have the triple bypass surgery at this clinic they are hoping to collect amongst family members and friends another $25,000 on top of that. This will defray costs of the basic surgery which, God willing, will go without any complications, and some follow-up care.
Adrian got on the first flight available the day he found out about his mother’s heart attack. When he landed she was already in the operating room for the failed attempt at stent surgery. Since then Adrian has become her primary caretaker, guardian, and main point of contact for everything medical and legal. For the past two days, he has pretty much moved into the hospital and spends the nights with his mother.
Adrian won’t be able to return to Miami for perhaps another month. He has already been forced to pass extremely large costs onto our credit cards to guarantee his mom’s healthcare and surgery. We are facing unknown costs for her post-surgery care and rehab. Adrian is also facing a huge loss of income with all the time away from his job.
Adrian will be an essential part of his mother’s recovery once she returns home. She will need 24/7 assistance and Adrian will be with her no matter what. The only thing that Adrian is thinking of right now is Monday morning, and a successful surgery.
A lot of our friends have reached out to ask what they can do, how they can help. I have created this fund to help Adrian's mother and our family during this time of great need. I ask anyone who has been touched by Adrian’s presence to help.
And please pray. Many of you have asked his mom’s name, to include her in your prayers: Alicia Raquel Nemerovsky.
With love and gratitude,
Dennis

My name is Dennis Hunter. I live in Miami Beach, Florida. I am the legally wedded spouse of Adrian Molina, and I am the son-in-law of the patient Alicia Raquel Nemerovsky. My husband Adrian Molina is the son of Alicia Raquel Nemerovsky and is also her legal custodian and healthcare proxy. The funds raised through this campaign will be withdrawn into the joint bank account I share with Adrian Molina as his legal spouse. Funds withdrawn will be used to defray the family's incurred expenses for Alicia's hospital stay, her time in the Intensive Care Unit, her triple bypass heart surgery, and her post-surgical care and recovery both in hospital and at home, as well as other costs that Adrian Molina may incur in the process of caring for his mother. As the patient's son, legal custodian, and healthcare proxy responsible for her care, my husband Adrian Molina will have full access at all times, through our joint bank account, to 100% of the funds withdrawn from this campaign.
